The Abduction of Persephone – The Return

Description
The Abduction of Persephone – The Return revisits the ancient myth through a contemporary, dark, and profoundly human perspective. Rather than focusing on the abduction itself, the performance explores its aftermath: trauma, forced coming-of-age, and the return to a world that, although no longer the same, attempts to carry on as if nothing had happened—concealing violence beneath the guise of normality. At the center stands Persephone, trapped within a myth in which her fate appears to be determined by the desires of others: her husband, her mother, and Zeus. The relationship between mother and daughter becomes a field of conflict, as Demeter proves unable to restore Persephone to her former identity solely as her daughter. Combining spoken word, movement, anlive music, the performance creates a theatrical universe in which the gods function as agents of power, desire, and control.
